Hello everyone!
I've just bought a Wacom Bamboo Pad (https://store.wacom.com/us/en/product/CTH300E/) and I'm trying to configure it under arch linux.
As far as I know this tablet has three capabilities: A stylus pen, normal touchpad (with fingers) and a hardware button. By now I've just been able to make the stylus pen work by following this (the part where it edits the kernel boot parameters): http://thottingal.in/blog/2014/10/26/ho … in-debian/. I'm having trouble to make the other parts of the tablet work.
As I could read in that guide, what I have to do is to make the touchpad part work with the normal evdev driver while the stylus work with the wacom one, and to do so it advises me to add the line
MatchIsTablet "on"to the 50-wacom.conf Xorg config file. But that doesn't seem to be working.
I've been able to verify that the touchpad is fully working (not broken) and is actually responding by sending data when I cat the /dev/input/mouse1 file, the hardware button also seems to be sending data there (the stylus doesn't it's using an eventX interface).
So my question is: How can I verify which driver is handling the touchpad par ot my tablet, if any. And how can I configure the evdev driver to treat the interface mouse1 as a touchpad?
I might be a bit lost on this and might have confused terms, any clarification you might add for me to better understand what's going on would be much appreciated.
*EDIT*: I've been able to make it work by completely uninstalling the wacom and synaptics driver and letting evdev handle everything, I'm still insterested in making the stylus work with wacom, and maybe make the touchpad work with synaptics if possible, as that would allow more customisation.
